threaded from the shoulders 17 and 18 out Wardly. Nuts 21 and 22 are screwed upon 45 the shafts, brushes 23 and 24: fit against the nuts, and nuts 25 and 26 fit against the brushes, so as to move the brushes out or in by manipulating the nuts.

A hearing 27 is mounted in the back 8 and so the meat savv cleaner shaft 28 extends through this hearing and has a bevel gear 29 upon its inner end meshing with the bevel gear 19. An oil cup 30 is mounted on the cap 11 and communicates with the chamber 12. A hearing 31 is mounted upon the shelf 6 and the shaft 28 extends through a clearance opening 32 in the frame 2 and through the bearing 31, and a driving: pulley 33 is fixed upon the rear end oi the shaft 28 and so driven by a belt 34 connecting to the hand saw power, not shown.
